Amazon Adds Parental Control Feature to FreeTime Web Browser

A new parental control feature from Amazon is designed to help parents manage the amount of time kids spend on their devices and ensure that the content they’re viewing is age-appropriate. The Parent Dashboard in Amazon’s FreeTime web browser offers access to 40,000 YouTube videos and websites that have been curated by an Amazon team, said a company announcement. In the dashboard, parents get a daily activity report of their children’s device usage while in their Amazon FreeTime profile, including videos watched, books read, apps or games played, and websites visited, along with how many minutes were spent on a particular title, it said.
